anything worth sharing?

Still like my cars.

Like MTB'ing (although that's technically still on 2 wheels....).

Watches - I have lots of them.

Whisky - I have lots of them.

Wine - I have lots of them.

Birds - I have lots of them.

Open canadian canoeing, wild camping, Tai Chi. Cycling but if I'm honest, I probably preferr building bicycles to riding them.

Boats.

Growing carnivorous plants.

Freshwater fishing but my standard is bung a maggot on and hope for the best.

Letching at pretty ladies in summer when they don't have much on. (today was exquisite from that point of view) Cool

I do enjoy my fishing, mainly freshwater, however I’ll fish in any waters that I’m allowed .
I’ve decided that when I get to wobbly to be allowed out on my own, I’m going to take up model making (Airfix kits).

Alternatively hobbies may include , : public wanking, shouting at the pavement, collecting hats, or walking football.

Camping, music, reading, Minecraft.

Last couple of years have just been a cycle of eat, sleep, work though - I've done very little of what I enjoy.

Have you tried shaking your stick and shouting incoherantly at passing aeroplanes?

Like others I'm in to mountain biking.

Lockdown gave me the opportunity to build and I built a garden room, a thousand hours later and it was done. We're not talking a kit, we are talking a full autocad design, chop saw, circular saw, table saw, oscillating saws etc.

(Not bad for a computer programmer, but i've always been handy).

A little ashamed to admit, I only use kits. Wilko's IPA and bitter are OK-ish starting points. However, they work. I know my limits. As long as the bucket is properly sterilised (get an additional sterilising packet), and as long as I have sufficient brewers sugar to supplement what's supplied, plus a sachet of yeast in addition, it will be OK. I must say, it's one of those things that makes you appreciate the pros a lot. Commercial breweries really know what they're doing, and they generally get better results. However, getting good-ish results at home is acceptable and isn't as hard as, say, making your own throttle cables, yet can be rewarding.
